Weather Wizard

This idea came from a super cool Elementary School teacher - a Weather Wizard Cape!



I love getting custom orders that are really unique ideas - something I've never seen before.



These capes will be worn by little Kindergartners during Calendar/Circle time. Children take turns identifying the weather for the day by putting on one of these capes and becoming the "Weather Wizard" - cool huh!?!



Maybe I'll have to make one for my Kindergartner's class now!



Here are some tips to recreate this cape:
I used my Cricut to make a template for the star shape and the "W" in George Basic Shapes size 5 1/2".
I made a circle template for the yellow, using a bowl. For the Cloud, I just drew a cloud shape that matched the clouds on the fabric and stitched around it to mimic the swirls.
"Sewable Fusing" was used before stitching around the shapes.

Spotting Owls

I'm a little in love with the owl trend right now. I thought I'd share some of the little beauties I found.

PoPPy LoVe

I am in love with Laura Gunn's new fabric collection "Poppy"!



I can't help but smile at the bright, vivid colors and bold prints. It calls me to it. It compels me to want to make something beautiful with it.



Some Easter dresses from this turquise swatch perhaps?



I've been looking for some cute girl dress patterns. Any ideas?

I love this one from My Needle and Thread



and this one from Sandi Henderson...



Leave me a comment if you find any adorable dress patterns like these!

Little Jock

I just finished a custom order for a set of 5 onesies for a little boys' baby shower. Baby Ozzy.



It is a sports themed baby shower, so the woman wanted 4 onesies with various sports represented.



My favorites are the golf & football onesies.



While making them, I kept showing them to my husband (the sports connoisseur) to see if everything looked right. He approved.

Thumb Suckers: Beware

I have been desperately trying for months to get my 4 year old to stop sucking her thumb. We've tried just about every strategy to get her to stop - pleading, bribery, bandages - without success. I think it has become such a habit that she's not even aware that she does it.

I had an epiphany today.



A thumb straight jacket.



Genius. So simple & easy. I literally picked up a piece of fabric from my scrap basket and cut and fitted and sewed and cut and fitted and it was done in about 15 minutes.



And she's actually excited to wear it.



The last suck.



Cool new "bracelet" aka thumb straight jacket.
